hi guys. I will work for Carnival Cruise but I dont know that which cruise exactly yet. I would like to have some important information for "first time worker on cruise ship". I'm Turkish and I will graduated from university on 7th of june and I will be in USA on 15th of june. I will work as an assistant waiter and I have many experinces in tourism in the same position. My Question are ;

What should I take with me ? (as clothes etc..)
Which topics should I pay attention? (I mean, what are the main rules at working cruise ship ? )

I have some information about my question but they are like gossip or hearsay (is that true ? I just used google translate ). I'm sooooooo nervous about working system about working codes about everything.

I'm really so sorry about my english and I need help to have information.
